We booked a standard room which was ample but not large, the hotel is clean, the staff friendly and helpful, The hotel seems to have had a make over recently and all the public areas were... More

I always try and stay in Holiday Inn group hotels and although Scotch Corner was a fair distance from my ultimate destination, this hotel makes it worthwhile going slightly off route. As far as Holiday Inns go, this is excellent. The refurbishment has been carried out with great attention to detail whilst keeping the character of the original building. My... More

Used the hotel as stay over for Thirsk races - 30 minutes away - Very impressed with the make-over which gave it the feel of a Crowne Plaza for the price of a Holiday Inn. Also only hotel in the North Yorks area that had such good facilities - state of the art gym, pool sauna etc. Only one gripe... More

Great hotel, fantastic room which has obviously been recently renovated. Dinner and breakfast were great with a good selection. A special mention to the staff for their friendly service and also a HUGE thank you for returning my glasses to me so promptly after I stupidly left them in my room!! If I had one negative it would be the... More

I stay in a lot of Holiday Inns, and this one suits me for work. It's had a recent re-vamp so looks good. The Italian restaurant has some super food, and the staff are always pretty attentive. The bar area is pleasant too, so if you're staying alone, you'll probably feel very comfortable eating in the bar, or just reading... More

They've certainly spent some cash here! The hotel has been transformed into a very good hotel, close to the A1/A66. Rooms are very good and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Despite the close location to the A1 the rooms are very quiet and very well priced.

The hotel itself is in an odd place in that it is not in a town or village. It is just off the A1 though it is quite away from the main road. It is a building originally built in the 30s and looks rather austere from the outside, but has been completely modernised inside though retaining some very interesting... More

Stayed for family anniversary. Arrived Friday during a Prom (not an issue although very busy at reception), eat at Italian (fantastic food, prices ok). Function on Saturday was brilliant, food excellent, staff attentive and always ready to fill your glasses. No objection to some of us still being up at 3am! Breakfast great, plenty of food, and good choices. We... More

Very clean, modern and comfortable hotel. Much nicer than other Holiday Inns I've stayed at, with very comfy beds and a choice of pillow firmness. Nice touches of complementary bottled water and Kit-Kat in the room. The bar served great food very quickly, good because the Italian got booked up. The breakfasts were very nice and with friendly and personal... More
